Roy Buchanan – Down By The River (LIVE) ALBUM VERSION

Posted by admin on November 23rd, 2009 and filed under anthology album | 25 Comments »

Not seen this version on here so i thought i would upload the Anthology Album version of this wonderful song.
This is probably one of my favourite songs by Roy even though its a cover of a Neil Young song.The guitar playing is just sublime.
Get that speaker cranked up to 10!!!!!!

Duration : 0:9:22

    I’ve become big into jazz lately, infact I’m training myself to get into a Jazz program in college for guitar. I just can’t forget people like Roy though man…. They changed the definition of feel. Django and Wes are incredible, but I think Roy’s there with them lookin at the same object from a different angle.

    I met Roy a few times. Once I tried to trade hats with him. He said kid I would but this hat has a curse on it and I couldn’t live with myself if I passed that curse on. He was a really cool cat who played like no one else. I miss Roy Boy
